Download Android 13 QPR Beta OTA and Factory Image for Pixel Devices

Google released another quarterly update for Pixel devices, which brings some new feature drops. An update is rolling out and will be available to download and upgrade for supported Pixel devices. The company started testing Beta 3 in September and has just released an updated beta update.

Beta 3.1 comes with a minor update, having a build number of T1B3.221003.008. You can check out the patch notes here over on the Google Blog. Since this is not Beta 4, it is more about bug fixes and performance improvements.Android QPR1 Beta 3.1 is available for Google Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, Pixel 5a, Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, or Pixel 7 Pro. However, it’s still unclear if the update will make it live before this year’s end.

You can either download the update from the device settings, but for this, you must enroll in Google’s beta program. An update can be done manually by downloading the OTA package and flashing it onto the device, but it isn’t very exciting, and it appears we have to wait for Beta 4.
